Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom


Have you read this book " Tuesday with Morrie"? It is one of the best selling books on earth. This books contains of so many lessons which can be important to every one of us. Indeed. I would like to put points that we were able to connect with the most. 

1. The simple things in live bring more happiness then material things you can purchase with money would ever be able give you
2. Live in the moment, don't worry about ageing but enjoy life to the fullest
3. Forgive, not only others but also yourself
4. Give yourself a good cry if you need it
5. Value your friends and most importantly your family because they will always be there for you whatever what happens
6. Love is the single, most important thing in life
7. To be able to detach yourself from an feeling you first need to allow yourself to experience it fully, as Morrie said, "I've been there myself."

I find this book worth-reading because this book contains one of the greatest lessons in life. And it’s an interesting, amazing book and sad story as well. I feel like I can’t stop reading. I find this more interesting when this book is all about life, on how a person will be able to live his or her life fully. And also, come to understand what is this all about. I finish reading this book in only one day. 

One thing I can never forget is that, "Love each other or perish" we should love each other in order for us to survive everyday. I remember what I've learned from my high school teacher or when I was in high school is that, "No man is an Island" so basically, everyone of us have the different role in life, the only problem is, we don't and maybe we don't get the idea that we are half dependent on each other. I like his saying, “learn how to live and you will know how to die; learn how to die and you will know learn how to live”. This really speaks a lot to me in a sense that life is so short and we should use the best out of it. Morrie said that we should live life to the fullest because we don't know how long will be able to stay here on earth. 

This book talks about regret. Morrie regrets that due to his unforgiving spirit toward his father up to his last breath, he don't even bother to forgive his father. "without love, we are birds with broken wings”. The book also stresses about the reality of problems, misery, suffering and death in life. Thinking through the life of Morrie, it may be easy to say that life is unfair and absurd. Why? The reason is that his childhood life till he dies is filled with sufferings, problems and difficulties but the way how he responds makes him as unique and different person. In life, there are so many things that happens to us beyond our control, and when we encounter such traumatic experiences, we have a choice to make within us and that our choice or attitude will make huge different in us.

“there is no such thing as too late in life. He was changing until the day he said good-bye”, I am impressed that there is always hope in life and we can make something beautiful out of it by showing love, kindness and care to others. I understand that one of “the most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love and to let it come in” for ‘love is how we stay alive even after we are gone’. I also realize that we are made for relationship and we should use our lives to build up others. Relationship transcends beyond death and its impact last longer than one’s whole life. WE ARE FOR EACH OTHER.
